as you probably checked as well, the LX website doesn't say anything about guests. Going by LH website, one guest + spouses as well as children under 18 flying on the same flight

I know I'm allowed one guest to the First Class Lounge if I'm holding a F-Class ticket on Swiss. I read somewhere that the guest "has (theoretically) to be on the same flight". Can anyone elaborate whether this is actually a requirement??

Lounge Access on F Award?

I'm going to use some BD miles to get from ZRH to NRT in October. According to the ANA tool only F awards are available right now. So I guess, I might as well go for it.
I know that with some airlines you cannot use the First Class lounge when you are on an award. How about the LX lounge in ZRH?

as long as you hold a F boarding pass, you may use the lounge - no difference if award or paid booking.

Forget " Theoretical " , same flight is a must.

Really? So if I'm flying ZRH-JFK in F and my friend is on ZRH-ORD in Y, there's no lounge we can use together??

Also that contradicts the Star policy:

" * Eligible guests: International First, Star Alliance Gold and Eligible Paid Lounge Membership customers are entitled to one guest
* The guest must enter the designated lounge with the eligible customer
* The guest must also present a boarding card for any same day Star Alliance flight departing from the local airport
"

Well, the lounge eligible for Star Alliance First Class is the Senator Lounge (LX/LH). So if one passenger is in First on any Star carrier, he can bring a guest that holds a Star boarding pass in any service class but as mentioned, only to the Star Alliance First Class facility.

If one is on a LX/LH First Class ticket and wants to use the Swiss/Lufthansa First Class lounge, one can only bring a guest that is on the same flight.

Bizzare! So its also different than the LH policy?

As a HON Circle Member and First Class passenger you may invite one companion into the lounge, as well as family members (spouse/partner, children under 18), provided that they are all flying with you.

If you hold a Lufthansa Senator Card and have Star Alliance Gold status you may invite one guest into the lounge.

Companions must produce a valid boarding pass for a same-day Lufthansa/Star Alliance flight and leave the lounge with the person who invited them in.

would help if LX lounge section would provide lounge access info. Try sending a msg to LX. I can't imagine their policy being different from LH

I'll be at ZRH for a while, transiting from a non-Schengen to a Schengen flt; both are on LX. I'm flying C and I'm an LH Senator. Which lounge should be the best for me?

Will be traveling in F ORD-ZRH and then ZRH-BCN with about an hour and a half connection time. While this probably won't allow for a stop at the LX F Lounge, can I arrange to have LX pick us up at the aircraft and drive us to the lounge and/or connecting flight? If so, do I need to make arrangements ahead of time at the LX ORD station?

Thank you in advance!

I think LH/LX First Class Lounges are not Star Alliance lounges and therefore LH/LX can make up their own rules regarding guest access regardless of any
*A policy.

Hey all

I have my first LX F flight coming up on ZRHHKG (and am very happy about it too). Question, is there a smoking area in the F lounge at ZRH, similar to the bar area in the C/SEN lounges?

thanks!
